Iron Man notes
- Good quick start, a slide show flashback done in the story and that was it
- Get right into the Iron Man action with the building of the suit and the turning of Stark
- Robert Downy Jr. is the best Stark possible
- Terrence Howard was a little weird in the role, not really a hardcore action guy in my eyes
- Paltrow's character is great and strong and a good ending for her
- See the evolution of Stark from loving himself to hating himself to changing himself
- Good ending
- Bad guy was decent enough, didn't have to have monster voice so much
- Good use of comedy without it being cheesy
- Great use of effects without having them over used
- Why must indestructible men/monsters/etc. find their way to a freeway?
- What were the terrorists goals?
- first Marvel Studios picture. Good choice.
- Jon Favreau directed - amazing for the guy who just directed Zathura and Elf
